An Irish "Rebecca"

What a great novel! The reviews on the book compared it to Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca." Well, I took that with a grain of salt. I am a huge fan of "Rebecca" and didn't think that comparison would stand up. Well, in some ways, it really does. "Malina" is beautifully written and the plot is similar to du Maurier's masterpiece. The descriptions in both novels are just gorgeous. The Irish setting was an extra plus for me since I love all things Irish. There was quite a lot about Irish life in "Malina." I still say "Rebecca" is the better novel but "Malina" is close behind. I don't want to give too much away about the plot but if you love "Rebecca" you will definitely enjoy "Malina." A wonderful book, I highly recommend it.
